(Computerization of Health Records) A health care issue that has been in the news lately is the
computerization of health records. This possibility is being approached cautiously because of sensitive privacy and security concerns, among others. Computerizing health records could make it easier for patients to share their health profiles and histories among their various health care professionals. This could improve the quality of health care, help avoid drug conflicts and erroneous drug prescriptions, reduce costs and in emergencies could save lives. In this exercise, you’ll design a “starter” HealthProfile structure for a person. The structure’s members should include the person’s first name, last name, gender, date of birth (consisting of separate attributes for the month, day and year of birth), height (in inches) and weight (in pounds).

Then describe the 3 important ways spreadsheets can help you or a professional do their job. I will use this response for your Mastery Check! What does spreadsheet software do? Spreadsheet software is used to store, organize and analyze data. Most of the time, the data that is entered is numerical, though spreadsheets can also store addresses and contact information. Spreadsheets automatically calculate data based on the formula or function that you create and modify for them. For example, let's say you're using a spreadsheet to track how much money you're using from a budget. You can set up the spreadsheet so every time you enter an item you purchased from the budget, the software automatically subtracts the cost from the total budget. Íf the budget starts at $5,000 and you buy a product that is $400, you input the product and its cost into the spreadsheet, and it automatically does the calculation,…arrow_forward- In molecular biology, DNAS and proteins can be represented as a sequence of alphabets. DNA sequences consist of A, T, G, C representing nucleobases adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Proteins consist of 20 different letters indicating 20 different amino acids. Suppose you are going to be recruited as a research fellow in a Bio-informatics lab where the recruiters need to compare your DNA characteristics for some reasons with their most successful researcher's DNA. If they observe that highest nucleobase subsequence matching score is more than 5, primarily you will be considered as a valid candidate for their lab. Let's say the part of DNA Sequence of you and the researcher are AATTGCGG, and GACTTACGA respectively. Now your task is to find a suitable algorithm to help the recruiters to measure your eligibility, and do the necessary task to convey them the list of highest matched nucleobases.arrow_forward

For instance, NO2 is measured using micrograms in each cubic metre of air (㎍/m3). A microgram (㎍) is one millionth of a gram. A concentration of 1 ㎍/m3 means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram of pollutant. To protect our health, the UK Government sets two air quality objectives for NO2 in their Air Quality Strategy The hourly objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of one hour. The annual objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of a year. The following table shows the colour encoding and the levels for Objective 1 above, the mean hourly ratio, adopted in the UK.

For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward
- *Data Structures and Algorithm (C Programming) In economics, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a difference in prices in two or more markets; striking a combination of matching deals to capitalize on the difference, the profit being the difference between the market prices at which the unit is traded. Arbitrage can become a source of gain when applied to currency exchanges. Consider the fol- lowing currency exchange ratios as an example: 1 U.S. dollar buys 0.7292 euros, 1 euro buys 105.374 Japanese yen, 1 Japanese yen buys 0.3931 Russian rubles, 1 Russian ruble buys 0.0341 U.S. dollars. Then you could take 1 U.S. dollar and buy 0.7292 euros with it, with which you can buy 76.8387 yen (because 0.7292 * 105.374 = 76.8387). Then take the 76.8387 yen and buy 30.2053 rubles (because 76.8387 * 0.3931 = 30.2053), and finally take the 30.2053 rubles and buy 1.03 dollars (because 30.2053 * 0.0341 = 1.0300).

- Problem C. Front Tooth ConcealmentYou have recently been appointed vice principal of a high school, and as such, you have the honor of helping out with their graduation ceremony. You will alternate reading off the names of the graduates with the principal. Unfortunately, you got your front teeth knocked out last night while fighting crime as a masked vigilante, so you are unable to pronounce any name containing the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. Since you don’t want your enemies to learn of your secret identity, and you suspect that some of them may be present at graduation, you need to avoid saying any names containing the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. You will read the first name from the list of graduates, meaning that you will also read the third, the fifth, the seventh, and so on. Therefore, you must ensure that all names at odd positions in the list of names (or at even indexes, since we start indexing at 0), do not contain the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. Write a function avoid_sz(names_list) which takes in…arrow_forward(Please do not give solution in image format thanku) Question 4) A healthcare organisation wants to implement a new electronic health record (EHR) system to improve patient care and streamline operations. The business problem is that the current paper based system is time-consuming, prone to errors, and makes it difficult to access patient information in real-time. Using the OSCAR mnemonic can assist business analysts in investigating the situation to complete the above project. Explain briefly how the OSCAR mnemonic can be used to investigate how a new electronic health record system can be implemented.arrow_forwardBad News Bearers Introduction There is some bad news to be delivered, and X has taken on the dangerous mission. Nobody really wants to be the one to take the news; the way goes through enemy territory and, even if the messenger gets through, the classic fate of the bearer of bad news may be waiting. (Let's just say, this is how the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" became relevant.) To determine which messenger will be sent, X sits all of his messengers down in a circle, selects a number, and starts to count off. Messengers are allowed to leave the circle one by one, and the last messenger left is the one who will deliver the bad news. The counting off procedure is slightly unusual, however, because it is actually the messenger after the last one counted who gets to leave the circle. Consider the following example with 5 messengers, in which the number selected for counting off is 7. We'll start at the "head" of the list and move forward. Since it is circular, the "head"…arrow_forward
